Forty children from a Wallingford pre-school will combine their annual summer outing with raising cash for charity.

They will take part in a sponsored toddle to raise money for both Barnardo's homes and their own group.

The children from the Paddocks pre-school and their parents will do the sponsored effort at Beale Park, near Pangbourne, on June 19.

Tina Simmons, of the pre-school, said: "We are combining this event with our annual summer outing. It is a fantastic way for our children to help children who need support."

The event is organised jointly by Barnardo Homes and the friendly society, the Independent Order of Foresters.
